Ended up getting some great interview footage and will try and tag it later this week(end).

 Planting the Seeds of Freedom and Democracy !!!
from recent posts - blip.tv (beta)
June 15, 2008
On December 14, 2005, President George W. Bush made mention of how President Truman Planted the Seeds of Freedom and Democracy in Japan. Never let us forget however, the manner in which those Seeds came to be planted It was President Harry S. Truman who, on 6 August 1945, during World War II, ordered the dropping of Atomic Bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. It was the only time in the history of man, that Nuclear Warfare has been used to settle world differences and it is something that must never be repeated !This is our world it is our responsibility to take whatever action is necessary to reclaim it from those who seek to destroy it. Several countries throughout the world are in possession of Nuclear Weapons, and they remain a major threat not only to World Peace, but to the Future of Mankind. It is up to the people of those countries to take a united stand, in which they demand the Dismantling of all Weapons of Mass Destruction, and ensure that their Governments strive toward a Peaceful World, where Differences are settled through Negotiation and Compromise rather than Bloodshed !!!It is my personal belief, that the current biggest threat to World Peace and a future that our children can be proud of, is President George W. Bush, and his Vice President, Dick Cheney. With each passing day that they remain in Office the world drifts closer to extinction !!!

 Richard Burton - March to Aldermaston
from YouTube :: Tag // modest
May 05, 2008
Unofficial teaser for the film "March to Aldermaston", made in Easter 1958 by The Film and TV Committee for Nuclear Disarmament, and narrated by the actor Richard Burton... "We look at the world, and we see madness"! This film is incredibly important, firstly as a document of social history, and secondly as a tribute to the early work of the UK anti-nuclear and anti-war movement, which went from relatively modest roots to staging some of the largest demonstrations in political history. Irrespective of whether you believe in total non-violence (which I don't), the long term objective of this movement is (now more than ever) the practical realisation of an ideal that is still the most important that human-kind has ever conceived - the total abolition of all war. No matter how long it takes, if that objective is ever achieved, then this film will have been one of the most important in documentary history. Apologies to the producers for editing their film. The full "March to Aldermaston" film is available on the "Free Cinema" DVD compilation http://www.amazon.co.uk/Free-Cinema/dp/B000E1P2XU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1210026503&sr=1-1 Author: gh2760 Keywords: Richard Burton Antifa CND Hiroshima Nagasaki Bertrand Russell WW2 Anti-Fascist Anti-Nazi Atomic Bomb Committee of 100 Added: May 5, 2008

 Forces of Nature (1)
from Military History Podcast
May 03, 2008
Whether they are seen as acts of God, or as simple climate-related occurrences, natural events have always had a sizeable impact on military operations. At the small end of the scale are the little changes in terrain or weather that may affect a battle or a small war. For example, many armies have postponed their campaigns due to inclement weather conditions, and many militaries have suffered from rampant disease. On the other end of the scale are the times when nature has so much of an impact that the fate of an entire nation or civilization is decided upon it. In the words of Charles Darwin, these are times when âthe war of natureâ results in the downfall of one party and the rise of another. Thales' Eclipse: Halted the epic Battle of Halys River, thereby saving one or both of the participants (Lydia and Media) from destruction.Kamikaze (Divine Wind): Created a storm that destroying the invading Mongol fleets, thereby saving Japan from foreign conquest.Athenian Typhoid: Wreaked havoc throughout Athens, contributing to its downfall in the Peloponnesian War.Bering Land Bridge: Facilitated the invasion of North America.Clouds over Kokura: Obscured the primary target for the Fat Man atomic bomb, thereby saving Kokura but resulting in the destruction of Nagasaki.Legend of Quetzacoatl: Convinced the Aztecs that Cortez was the reincarnation of Quetzacoatl, thereby facilitating the Spanish conquest of Latin America.

327th - Sweet Potato, Japan, Kurume, Nights
from Bicycle Sidewalk
April 27, 2008
Ok, this was recorded about 2 weeks ago. This is a great study in so many things. Linguistics, I make some very obvious mistakes in my Japanese and the fellow even calls my Japanese broken - this is when they really are talking to you thank goodness, if I was still hearing something like I would probably get a big L tattooed across my forehead. We ended up talking for a good 40 minutes. This is was recorded in Kurume, I was out on a Friday - the weather has been great Anyhow the Yakiimo song is perhaps one of the staple sounds I will carry in my mind til I am six feet under I will post part two in a week or so. Enjoy - and excuse the type in the subs

325th Post - Elsewhere
from Bicycle Sidewalk
April 10, 2008
I think we all have dreams that our life would be more interesting if we only lived somewhere else - hmmmm - take a step back, there are plenty of folks who are happy right where they are. Pause. Take a step forward, look at where you are and where you are going - From my experience the dream of living elsewhere is sometimes more vivid and real than the actually reality. Everything is relative to where you spin on the earth. Music: Tift Merritt Enjoy

323rd Post - Lost in the barren persimmon forrest: Kurume, Japan
from Bicycle Sidewalk
March 24, 2008
Well, this is a really short but (I think) has a one tiny artistic moment - I like the twig moment - it seems the music lines up with the sky and the small jutted twigs just right for only a split second or two anyhow, this footage was taken at the base of Kabuto-yama in Kurume City, I am considering tagging my posts with a Google Earth file so you can get a better idea of where I am coming from, but as for now - if you really want to know - open Google Earth and search for Fukuoka, Kurume - I live near the Chikugo River The song is by John Frusciante. I am currently in Taiwan - today I imagine I will take my camera out into Taipei I have taken some great photos and will probably throw something together when I return to Japan. As for now - nothing much else to report enjoy the video!

 Battlefront: "The Last Strongold" (Air Raids On Tokyo) 2/4
from YouTube :: Tag // lost
March 23, 2008
Doolittle air raid: The first raid on Tokyo was the Doolittle Raid of April 18, 1942, when sixteen B-25 Mitchells were launched from the USS Hornet to attack targets including Yokohama and Tokyo and then fly on to airfields in China. The raid did no damage to Japan's war capability but was a significant propaganda victory for the United States. Launched prematurely, none of the attacking aircraft reached the designated airfields, either crashing or ditching (except for one aircraft which landed in the Soviet Union, where the crew was interned). Two crews were captured by the Japanese B-29 air raids: The key development for the bombing of Japan was the B-29, which had an operational range of 3,250 nautical miles (6,019 km); almost 90% of the bombs dropped on the home islands of Japan were delivered by this type of bomber. The initial raids were carried out by the Twentieth Air Force operating out of mainland China in Operation Matterhorn under XX Bomber Command but was supplemented in November 1944 by the activation of XXI Bomber Command based in the Northern Mariana Islands. The B-29s of XX Bomber Command were transferred to XXI Bomber Command in the spring of 1945 and based on Guam. The first raid using low-flying B-29s carrying incendiaries to drop on Tokyo was on the night of February 24-25 1945 when 174 B-29s destroyed around one square mile (3 km²) of the city. Changing their tactics to expand the coverage and increase the damage, 279 B-29s raided on the night of March 9--10, dropping around 1,700 tons of bombs. Approximately 16 square miles (41 km²) of the city were destroyed and some 100,000 people are estimated to have died in the resulting firestorm, more than the immediate deaths of either Hiroshima or Nagasaki.[1][2] The US Strategic Bombing Survey later estimated that nearly 88,000 people died in this one raid, 41,000 were injured, and over a million residents lost their homes. The Tokyo Fire Department estimated a higher toll: 97,000 killed and 125,000 wounded. The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department established a figure of 124,711 casualties including both killed and wounded and 286,358 building and homes destroyed. Richard Rhodes, historian, put deaths at over 100,000, injuries at a million and homeless residents at a million. These casualty and damage figures could be low: Mark Selden wrote in Japan Focus "The figure of roughly 100,000 deaths, provided by Japanese and American authorities, both of whom may have had reasons of their own for minimizing the death toll, seems to me arguably low in light of population density, wind conditions, and survivors' accounts. With an average of 103,000 inhabitants per square mile and peak levels as high as 135,000 per square mile, the highest density of any industrial city in the world, and with firefighting measures ludicrously inadequate to the task, 15.8 square miles (41 km²) of Tokyo were destroyed on a night when fierce winds whipped the flames and walls of fire blocked tens of thousands fleeing for their lives. An estimated 1.5 million people lived in the burned out areas."[3] The destruction and damage was at its worst in the city sections east of the Imperial Palace. Over 50% of Tokyo would be destroyed by the end of World War Two.

322nd Post - Ramen, Yatai, Fukuoka, Japan
from Bicycle Sidewalk
March 11, 2008
Well, it has been over a month since I have made a video. This is something I threw together over the weekend. As you can see - I really threw this one together I recently moved back to Kurume and I am in the process of unpacking and setting up the new apartment. I didn t use my normal green background, this video was made with only the mild green background of a bare wall in my apartment - as much as I tweaked it - I could not clean it up oh well, it is not the end of the world. This video is about 7 minutes long. I walk you through a ramen joint and then later at night in Fukuoka City - they are cleaning up after a long night s work at a food stall. I plan to start making more videos this spring - if there is anything you would like to see or hear about in Kyushu drop me a comment or an email. Enjoy!
